Leah Senior – “Softly, Once Again”

Gems pick yesterday, the Australian songwriter returns with the second single from the upcoming Pt. Roadknight. An ode to quietude, a celebration of the simple and sanguine in the face of noise, “Softly, Once Again” finds the baroque touches of “Mothersong” fading away in favor of the simple charms of strums, flute and pillow-soft harmonies. The song’s a rebuff against the proliferation of punk in all its prickliness among the ranks of the Melbourne underground. The song reaffirms her favor for folk, lilting through the speakers on a bedrock of calm. The video comes courtesy of excellent Australian designer Luke Player, capturing the countryside quilting at the song’s core. The new album is out June 19th from SPINSTER and Third Eye Stimuli.
